ApplicationJ-uneZl. 1948, Serial No. 34316 4 1: Glaim.

parts can be disassembled so that access can be had to the interiorsurface of the stem parts and wherein the mouthpiece may be separated toprovide access to the passage through them and wherein the parts can bereassembled and retained without need of a great number of fasteningparts and without the use of threads on the parts.

Other objects of the present invention are to provide a sanitarysmoking-pipe which can be disassembled for the purpose of cleaning thesame, which is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easyto clean, light in weight and efficient in operation.

For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention,reference may be had to the following detailed description taken inconnection with the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a top planview of the pipe assembled.

Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the pipe.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of the pipe taken online 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 4--4 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the external sleeve with the fasteningpin.

Fig. 6 is a collective view of the internal separable stem parts and ofthe closure plug for the outer end of the stem.

Fig. '7 is a collective view of the separable mouth piece parts.

Fig. 8 is a side elevational view of a modified form of mouth piece.

Fig. 9 is a top plan view of the mouth piece shown in Fig. 8.

Fig. 10 is an end elevational view of the mouth piece shown in Fig. 8.

Referring now to the figures, I5 represents a pipe bowl which has abottom It and a hole I! extending from one side to the other to receivepipe stem assembly l8 formed of an external sleeve I9 and separableinternal sleeve parts 2| and 22 and separable mouth piece parts 23 and24. The stem assembly l8 passes through the opening I! to the oppositeside of the pipe bowl and a plug 25 having a sleeve projection 26 closesthe end of the assembly.

The external sleeve l9 has holes 21 through which smoke passes from thepipe bo'wl l5 to the interior of separable internal sleeve parts 2| and22 and the upper sleeve part 2| has holes 28 aligned with the holes 21of the external sleeve part I9 to accomplish the above. The internalsleeve, which consists of the parts 2| and 22, constitutesan innerlining for the external sleeve l9, whereby any accumulation of matter isdeposited on the inner surface of'the internal sleeve which can bereadily removed and cleaned. The stem assembly is held together by a pin29 and is held against rotation within the pipe bowl I 5 by anenlargement 3| on the pin that is seated in a. recess 32 in the pipebowl and extending from the top of the opening thereof. The pin 29projects through an opening M in the sleeve part l9 and also through aregistering opening l2 in the part 2|.

The mouth piece part has a tip enlargement 33 which has a recess 34 intowhich the end of the part 23 extends and is retained. The parts 23 and24 also have projections 36 and 31 respectively adapted to enter theinternal stem parts 2| and 22. The mouth piece parts have shoulders 38which abut the ends of the sleeves. The stem parts are preferably madeof light Weight aluminum while the mouth piece parts may be formed ofplastic.

It will be apparent that the parts can be readily disassembled. Plug 25is removed and thereafter the stem assembly can be pulled from the pipebowl l5 and the pin 29 released so that the sleeve 9 can be separatedfrom the sleeve parts 2| and 22 and the mouth piece assembly withdrawnfrom the sleeve parts and the parts thereof separated from one another.The mouth piece parts have grooves 39 forming the smoke passagetherefor. These grooves can be thoroughly cleaned when the parts havebeen separated and likewise the interior faces of the sleeve parts 2|and 22 can be scoured.

Referring in detail to Figure 8, 9 and 10 of the drawings, there isshown a modified mouthpiece. This mouthpiece includes a main part 4|that is provided with a dovetailed groove 42 for snugly and slidablyreceiving a closure or key part 43. These parts each havelongitudinally-extending, semicylindrical grooves 44 and 45 which coactto provide the smoke passage. The part 4| also has a portion H which isof less diameter than the main portion of the part 4|. The part 43 hasan extension 46 that projects beyond the adjacent end of the portion llof part 4| so as to provide a handle portion which can be grasped inorder to remove the part 43 from the part 4| The part 4| is providedwith an enlarged tip portion 41 and the tip portion has the usual inner,tapered recess 48 that communicates with the smoke passage.

3 The part 43' can be slid out of engagement with the part 4|. The partM has a shoulder 49 that is adapted to abut the complemental end of thesleeve assemblage.

While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it shallbe understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope ofthe present invention as defined by the appended claim.

We claim:

A smoking pipe comprising a bowl having a passage extending from oneside to the other thereof, a pipe stem assembly formed of separableinternal and external parts, the assembly being adapted to extend intothe passage in the pipe bowl, a mouth piece formed of separable partsand adapted to be secured to the stem assembly, a pin adapted to beextended through the stem assembly parts to keep them angularly aligned,said pipe bowl having a. recess extending radially from one end of itspassage, said pin having a projection fitting the recess and adapted topr.- vent the angular displacement of the stem assembly relative to thepipe bowl.
